We will be closing out the year and our From Tablets to Torah Scrolls Focus with a 2 episode series in which Tim interviews Dr. Brian Rickett and Dr. Drew Longacre of the MIKRA Research Laboratory.
In this first episode, Dr. Rickett and Dr. Longacre share some exciting updates! Soon the team will be launching a new app called MIKRA View which will allow anyone to gain access to ancient biblical manuscripts.
This means laypeople, scholars, and institutions alike will be able to have an encounter with and study biblical scrolls and manuscripts in their original languages. People with the app will also have access to MIKRA’s research on the manuscripts that are featured, as well as be able to upload their own notes to the platform.
This is incredibly exciting for anyone who wants to study these scrolls and gain a deeper understanding of how scribes throughout the centuries copied the biblical text, bringing it to us today!
Dr. Longacre also shares his background and how he became the Paleographic Project Coordinator on the MIKRA team.
